Events
Our goal is to provide veterinary students with hands-on opportunities to work with canine athletes and network with veterinarians. We offer wet labs, lectures, and off-site opportunities for students to learn about sled dog medicine. Students gain practice with orthopedic exams, body condition scoring, emergency and critical care, sports medicine, rehabilitation, nutritional management, and client communication. We attend races in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
